I have a strange anomoly when reinstalling XP. After the installation
reboots into device configuration and I "ok" the keyboard config, the
product key entry page comes up and locks the system. I am befuddled. I
have tried booting into safe-mode (can't boot into safe-mode during
setup), restarting the installation, running repair on the installation
and chkdsk /r. I was able to install a second image to a new
systemdirectory. I would rather not rebuild my entire configuration via
the second image. Anyone have an idea why the original installation is
freezing as indicated?

Failure of a Repair setup leaves you no real choice. Without backup, there is no other 'magic' fix.

Install to a new folder, then all apps, then 'take ownership' of the old data.
